Itinerary description

This is a loop trail starting at the visitor centre in Canmore. You climb up to the Canmore Nordic Centre then follow the Mount Rundle Riverside Trail to Banff, returning on the Legacy trail to the Canmore Visitor Center. The Riverside Trail is difficult riding with extensive exposed roots rocks and course gravel in Boulder sections all along the face of Mount Rundle. I strongly advise that you do this route in a clockwise manner as riding the rooted single track trail uphill from Banff to the Nordic Centre would be extremely difficult.
